Former Employee – worked at Nexen

ProsFlexible work hours
Good people
Lots of opportunities to work with new technology
Lots of opportunities to challenge yourself
Fair compensation

ConsPoor communication from upper management.
Poor communication about work performance.
Unprofessional way of letting long term employees go.
Inadequate guidance from management.

Advice to Senior ManagementMy advice would be to ensure adequate communication takes place between IT groups confirming what the 1,2 and 5 year strategic plan is before approving projects.
Far to much money is wasted on projects that are prematurely cancelled after a significant amount of money is already spent.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Calgary, AB (Canada)

Former Employee – worked at Nexen

ProsCompensation is good and everything else sucks.

ConsNo respect for human rights and freedoms. They will kick you out regardless of performance because of political games and greediness of people who are there for long time. They would ignore abuse toward other people. Even good compensation is not worth amount of frustration you have to go through.

I'm very glad I'm out from there !!!

Advice to Senior ManagementRespect for basic human rights. Shame on this company and it's management.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
